I can't even go out with a stupid girl from a shop because you pick up the phone and I comes running. I mean, is that what I am, Rose, standby? Am I just supposed to sit here for the rest of my life, waiting for you? Because I will.

* FreudianExcuse: Exploited by Blon. In her previous appearance she was just one of many Slitheen who planned to initiate a nuclear holocaust simply so they could sell the radioactive remains of the Earth as starship fuel. When the heroes meet her again, her motives haven't improved much; she intends to nuke Cardiff (tearing apart the rift) in order to escape the planet. She certainly never pulls any sort of HeelFaceTurn, but attempts to forestall her own execution by explaining how horrible her life has been (she would have been killed if she'd refused to be a killer like the rest of her family) and how unnecessarily cruel her death will be (dissolved in boiling vinegar), and pointing to one instance where she spared an innocent's life. In the end she does get a sort of second chance, as she is regressed to an egg and can start her life over.

* BecomingTheMask: Margaret has been in her human disguise for so long that she's starting to empathise with humans, particularly [[UsefulNotes/{{Wales}} the Welsh]], stating that as far as London's concerned the entire Welsh coastline could fall into the sea and they wouldn't notice.

* BecomingTheMask: Margaret has been in her human disguise for so long that she's starting to empathise with humans, particularly [[UsefulNotes/{{Wales}} the Welsh]], stating that as far as London's concerned Welsh]]. It's most apparent when the entire Welsh coastline TARDIS crew explores her plan to build an obviously-flawed nuclear plant.
-->'''Rose''': Isn't there someone in London checking this sort of stuff?
-->'''Margaret''': We're in ''Cardiff.'' London doesn't care! The South Wales coast
could fall into the sea SEA and they wouldn't notice.notice!...oh. I sound like a Welshman. [[LampshadeHanging God help me, I've gone native.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ObviouslyEvil: The Blaidd Drwg Nuclear Power Plant is so shoddily designed that anyone with even a minor understanding of physics or engineering can tell it's deeply flawed. Several people correctly determine that it's deliberately being built to explode, but they don't connect the final dot--that Blon/Margaret wants that to happen--because they can't imagine why anyone would purposefully cause an accident dubbed "a thousand times worse than Chernobyl."

Jack assumes that she's been disintegrated, but the Doctor reveals that the TARDIS has given Blon a second chance at life: under the pile of empty clothes and human skin, there's an egg.

* ArtisticLicencePolitics: In real life the Lord Mayor of Cardiff is not an executive position, but the chair of the city & county council, and carries out diplomatic functions.[[note]]From 1999 to 2003 the position was combined with that of Leader of the Council, which would make a ''bit'' more sense for Margaret's role.[[/note]] Even when this is put aside, the construction of a nuclear power plant would be in the hands of higher government.[[note]]There's also no way that such a project would advance so far in just six months.[[/note]]
